Using the modprobe command from above and forcing the card=17 option seemed
to make the card load OK. However, since I've never used a tv tuner card in
linux before, it took me a while to figure out all the dvb-utils and test
the card to see if it was working. Since it wasn't working in MythTV, I went
the route of using dvbscan, then I used azap to tune to a channel.
Then I used the command:
mplayer /dev/dvb/adapter0/dvr0
and up pops full screen video!
I have yet to get LiveTV in MythTV working, it pops up a blank screen for a
split second, then goes back to the main screen, even though in the setup it
recognizes the card and can scan channels OK.
But it's my understanding that now that I've gotten to this point that the
card will work and it's just a matter of getting the right configuration in
MythTV.
Thanks for all your help Mike, hopefully it won't be long before this card
is natively recognized in the kernel.
J.J.
ps.
The card I have is the Fusion 3 Gold (18ac:d800), which is different than
the Gold-Q or the Gold-T model that's been currently suported as of 2.6.13.
